SUMMARY: A 19th century Mississippi rifle that was stolen while on loan at Beauvoir in Biloxi during the 1970s has been returned to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. The rifle, donated by the daughter of Charles H. Gibbs, was used by Gibbs in the Mexican-American War. FBI special agent Randolph Deaton expressed gratitude for the collaboration between law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, museum professionals, historians, and subject matter experts that led to the rifle’s return. The rifle will be displayed alongside the cartridge case used by Gibbs in the war at the Museum of Mississippi.

SUMMARY: Christian artist TobyMac reflected on his evolving music style ahead of his performance at the Brandon Amphitheater. Rooted in hip hop, R\&B, and soul, he says his sound has mellowed over time, shaped by life’s ups and downs. Though he sometimes tires of older songs like “Speak Life,” their enduring message keeps them meaningful. He continues to blend new hits like “Cornerstone” and “I Just Need You” into his setlist, skipping “Good Morning” out of respect for collaborator Mandisa. TobyMac promises fans a joyful, diverse, and unified show experience, filled with both nostalgic favorites and fresh, relevant music.
